Hosted during the first weekend of May each year, Jane's Walks are free guided tours of neighbourhoods. Anyone can guide one, anyone can attend, and they're held in recognition of Jane Jacobs and her idea that neighbourhoods are built for people (not cars) and those people are the greatest asset to a city.

Some awesome opportunities, held rain or shine! Vancouver historian John Atkin is hosting one about the history of the Grandview Cut tomorrow morning. I'll be attending that one and then hosting my own tour of the Trout Lake/Cedar Cottage area just south of Commercial and Broadway Stations.

A lot of the walks are used to gather information for transportation and community plans, so it's a chance to get your opinions in. The walks are often walking conversations rather than Leader > Audience.
